"Ashton Kutcher will replace Charlie Sheen in the hit CBS comedy Two and a Half Men, Warner Bros Television says.

Kutcher, who is married to actress Demi Moore, has hosted the prank show Punk'd and is probably best known as Michael Kelso on Fox's That 70s Show.

"I can't replace Charlie Sheen but I'm going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people," Kutcher said.

Warner cut the show short and fired Sheen two months ago amid outbursts and reported problems with drink and drugs."

I am amazed there is not a thread on this already. Ashton Kutcher will replace Charlie Sheen on the hit program Two and Half Men. I'm not a big fan of this decision personally. I thought as the kid was getting older the show was losing some of its best humour and i assumed they would just end the show. I guess money talks.

Kutcher is barely funny and the show will tank. Not for Kutcher's eventual sucking but for the radical change in story that will have to happen. It's going to be too fast a change for viewers and give some whiplash. The only way they can explain no more charlie is if Alan and the kid moved out somewhere and Kutcher gets rammed in there.

Charlie continues, taking a shot at the show, saying, "Enjoy the show America. Enjoy seeing a 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB." Essentially, Charlie is saying the age group that supported him is going to tune out.

Charlie adds, "Enjoy planet Chuck, Ashton. There is no air, laughter, loyalty, or love there." Of course, Charlie is referring to his nemesis, "Men" creator and Executive Producer Chuck Lorre.

According to our sources close to the production, Kutcher will play Dan, the legitimate son of Charlie, who resurfaces after his father's death and inherits the Malibu beach house.

Back on topic: Hm. I really dont see Ashton Kutcher playing the role of Charlie. Just..doesnt feel right. I mean..if Charlie sheen's character had to leave the show to be replaced by a new one, ok i guess. But..the 2 of them have a different way of acting. I dont know. :S I guess we will just have to wait to see how it turns out.

Wow, if they really kill him off and bring Ashton as his son, that's just as stupid as the idea I had while I lay in the bath tub. Are they forcing to continue the show like this because of contracts or do they really think this will work?

I mean... helloooo?!?

I have nothing against Ashton, but not in this show. This will not work and just killing Charlie off... uhm just no.

I guess this is the point where people refer to the phrase "to jump the shark" and that's what the show will do, won't it?
